“ASSURANCE AND COMFORT FOR THE SAINTS WHO REMAIN FAITHFUL”

Revelation is designed not only to inform and assure Christians about God’s final purposes, but also to increase their longing for God and the realization of His purpose. The certainty of that consummation comforts saints during times of temptation and persecution.

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."”

(Revelation‬ ‭21:1-5‬)

“NOTHING IS HIDDEN FROM GOD”

“The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”

(‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:13-14‬)

“THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HIDDEN FROM GOD”

“O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”
‭‭
(Psalms‬ ‭139:1-24‬)

“TRUST”

Experiencing The Lord’s Favor Does Does Not Always Mean Avoiding Trials. Sometimes God Calls His People To Go Through The Most Terrible Of Circumstances. Yet, None Of This Is Outside His Sovereign Control And Care. In These Circumstances We Are Being Refined, Equipped, And Built Up.

TRUST THAT GOD’S PLAN WILL CARRY YOU TO UNIMAGINABLE BLESSINGS AND BREAKTHROUGH AFTER ALL HAS SETTLED.

God Demands Genuine Change Of Heart And Life, Not Mere Outward Conformity.

We Should Not Only Be Thankful When God Blesses Us When He Does, But Also When He Embraces Us Even Tighter When We Are Forgetful Of What He Has Done For Us, And Of The Battles That He Has Carried Us Through.

STAY HUMBLE IN ALL THINGS AND NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE ONE WITH WHOM ALL THINGS EXIST AND HAVE THEIR BEING.
